According to Aurelio De Laurentiis, president of Napoli, only Paris Saint-Germain has the resources to move Victor Osimhen this summer from the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
After leading Napoli to their first championship in 33 years last season, the striker has been rumored to be leaving this summer.
De Laurentiis, though, stated earlier in the week that the Nigerian would remain at Napoli unless a’more than indecent proposal’ is made for the 24-year-old.
Osimhen is reportedly worth €150 million to Napoli, and no club is now prepared to pay that asking price.
De Laurentiis has set his valuation of the striker even higher and claims that only PSG has the financial strength to sign the player, ruling out other suitors like Chelsea, Manchester United, and Real Madrid, who have all been linked with the forward.

“The only club that could afford Victor Osimhen is Paris Saint-Germain,” De Laurentiis told Mediaset.
“If (PSG president) Nasser Al Khelaifi wants to send in a bid around €200m we wait and see what happens. I personally think that Victor will stay here.”
Osimhen scored 26 goals and made five assists in 32 league appearances last season, which was crucial to the Partenopei winning the Serie A title for the first time in over three decades.
He also became the first African to claim the prestigious Capocannoniere award, given to the top scorer in Serie A.
Osimhen is expected to return to pre-season training on July 19.
